Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Convention video




Phil,

Sounds like you had a good time. I use to have an uncle that lived in that area and so made many trips to Washington. I can still remember climbing up the Washington Monument. Supreme Court Justice David Suitor was from my home town and the last time I went to DC (about 7 years ago) we went to the Supreme Court and I took out my license, showed it to a guard and told him I was from Suitor's home town and would like to meet with him. Well, a few minutes later Suitor's secretary came down and said the Judge would love to meet with us, which we did. We got a royal tour of the Supreme Court and he even took us up to the top floor where there's a basketball court. He gave the kids a basketball and let them shoot some hoops and then smiled and said, "This is the highest court in the land".

Hi, Alec!
Just got back from Washington D.D. an hour,or so, ago - and checked my emails at home. Thought you did a good job with the video on the 2009 convention - considering the lousy water conditions and silt bottom! I'd enjoy having a copy of it, if it isn't too much trouble - glad to cover any DVD costs, etc. Just send to the office. D.C. was good - had supper at the Capitol Building last night with various congresspersons, Admirals, Buzz Aldrin and other astronauts on the Space side, Sylvia Earle, Joe MacInnis and the usual suspects on the Ocean side - also gave a talk at a National Geographic headquarters the day before and at another banquet at the Canadian Embassy. The Capitol was very cool, though - and the art in the areas where the public is not allowed is spectacular! An original oil of George Washington that he actually sat for . . .huge murals of the Fathers of Confederation and so on
